Chapter 158: Chapter 148: Big Trouble! (Seeking Monthly Ticket)_2

Half a cup of tea later, Chen Yuan finished his work.

After doing all of this, he turned his head and looked at An Ge beside him, observing her expression which seemed like a mix between smiling and not smiling.

"How about it, Miss An, would you like a share?"

An Ge’s pretty face trembled slightly; Ninth Mountain’s Colonel truly is troublesome.

Ruthless, deceitful, suspicious, always testing her, trusting no one.

If she really believed his nonsense and showed interest in these weapons, the outcome would surely not be good.

She pressed her eyelids down, not directly looking into Chen Yuan’s eyes, and said:

"Please, General, there’s no need for such suspicion towards me, I have already told everything I know truthfully."

Chen Yuan didn’t speak, just flashed a set of white teeth.

Then, he turned his gaze to the large array in the center of the cave, nearly a hundred measures in size, called the Five-Colored Flowing Light Array.

Array flags, each about three feet long marked with Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, of various colors, totaling twelve, flowed with colors, spirit light passing through them.

Chen Yuan used his Dharma Eye to look once, he could break the formation, but not knowing much about arrays, he was clueless about its purpose.

He thought for a moment, then remotely lifted a stone the size of a grindstone from the ground and threw it towards the Five-Colored Flowing Light Array.

The imagined scene of the stone being shattered by the formation didn’t occur; instead, it went straight in.

The next second, that stone with a swish, vanished into thin air.

Hmm?

While Chen Yuan operated his Dharma Eye, he only saw a flow of light wrap around the stone, making it disappear.

He tried a few more times, throwing other things in, also to the same effect, thus he decisively chose to step in.

The next second, just as the great array trembled, Chen Yuan felt enveloped by a stream of light, instantly pulling him downward and into the rock.

In that moment, Chen Yuan understood, this was a formation resembling the Five Elements Escape Technique.

He found himself falling into a very narrow tunnel.

About thirty minutes later, Chen Yuan emerged from another similar array.

Chen Yuan tried to explore the exit.

Resultingly, he walked out from the other array connection and discovered that the array led to Washing Sword Mountain inside the border.

Now, Chen Yuan understood everything.

He turned around and went back, and plucked all the array flags in the cave on Wangjun Mountain.

After doing all this,

Chen Yuan and An Ge left.

......

At the same moment, from the direction of Shu, a streak of silver light was speeding towards this heroic pass.

In the night sky, a Sky Shrieking Falcon let out a piercing scream and rushed into Tianxiong Pass.

"Who goes there?" patrol soldiers on the South Gate City Wall called out loudly.

But the Sky Shrieking Falcon ignored them, directly rushing into Tianxiong Pass.

.......

When Chen Yuan returned to Heavenly Fragrance Building, he saw his subordinates who were supposed to be guarding inside, wearing their iron armor and clashing, whooping as they rushed out of the door, mounting their horses with a fierce and restless energy.

Chen Yuan, radiating a golden light, landed on the threshold in front of the building and frowned, inquiring:

"What happened?"

The Lead Military Officer, Liu Qing, who was originally in the Inner City, upon seeing Chen Yuan, rushed forward like seeing a pillar of support, and quickly knelt down. This subordinate, always cold in tone and rarely emotional, now had red-rimmed eyes and an urgent tone, almost breaking voice,

"General, something has happened!"

Chen Yuan’s pupils constricted.

A few minutes later,

"Drive"

"Drive"

"Drive"

A group of Armored Soldiers quickly entered the Inner City.

At this moment, in the Inner City, signals of fire rose everywhere, and whistle sounds were incessant.

Across the military camps, each Armored Soldier rapidly donned armor and took up weapons, lining up in formation.

Chen Yuan rapidly rode towards the Colonel Palace, and on reaching the palace’s front square, three figures also dashed out from inside.

Tianxiong Pass Wei Zhong,

Fourth Mountain Changshan,

Jiange Pass Wusheng.

The faces of the three were unusually serious this time, their brows even carrying a hint of sorrow.

Then, quickly from behind them in the large hall, the footsteps of someone descending the steps rapidly were heard.

A single Armored Soldier, bearing three red Command Flags on his back, clattered down the steps to before Chen Yuan’s carriage, then knelt on one knee, both hands holding up a white silk cloth, solemnly announcing:

"Nine Colonels,"

"Demon Suppression Envoy... Sir, has fallen!"

"Youmen Pass has completely... fallen!"

"Wu wu...."

This Orderly Officer, as he spoke, couldn’t contain his sorrow and started to sob.

Chen Yuan’s heart was struck with shock, his pupils dilating furiously.

Demon Suppression Envoy, the first under the rank of Demon Suppression General, the practical commander of The Overseers, who has long guarded Youmen Pass in the Ten Thousand Mountains, having accumulated significant influence.

This generation’s Colonels are almost all soldiers trained under this person.

That person is the rumored mighty warrior from the Martial Vault!

How could it be? Said to have fallen just like that.

Chen Yuan’s expression turned grave, he dismounted swiftly, first bowed with folded arms, then took over the white banner with both hands.

"What happened?"

He asked the Orderly Officer.

This news was too sudden, stirring turmoil and waves in his heart.

He felt that the whole Shu region, now filled with inexhaustible demons, countless treacheries, was ridden with problems, lacking a single haven of peace, giving rise to a sense of agitation and suffocation.

The Government Administrative Office is clearly overwhelmed and on the verge of collapse!

He quickly pondered in his mind, realizing the need to make early preparations.

"I am not aware, Sir. The news arrived, and the entire office is in mourning, news spread rapidly to every Prefecture!"

"Summon the lords to return to Jingguan City immediately!"

The Orderly Officer replied with a somewhat uneasy demeanor.

"Then pass the order down!"

"Quickly muster the troops, gather the forces!"

After speaking, he addressed Wei Zhong and two others,

"Gentlemen, let’s talk inside!"

Chen Yuan’s brows were furrowed, his tone urgent, then he strode into the palace.

The other three Colonels followed, their expressions grave, the atmosphere heavy.

"Gentlemen, the Demon Suppression Envoy has fallen, Youmen Pass has been conquered, this matter will inevitably leak out, and it’s estimated to quickly spread throughout Jiannan Road, this will be a disaster!"

Chen Yuan sat in the main seat, his eyes intense, his tone bleak.

"The Overseers still have the Demon Suppression General in command, it shouldn’t become chaotic yet." Wei Zhong hesitated somewhat.

"The General is currently resisting the Eight Demon Kingdoms and cannot disengage, what is Lord Chen suggesting?" Colonel Changshan from the Fourth Mountain looked at Chen Yuan.

"Now Jiannan Road is riddled with holes, the Government Administrative Office is simply robbing Peter to pay Paul, still it’s leaking on all corners, heading to the Government Administrative Office, we still don’t know what the future holds?"

"Tianxiong Pass just stabilized, but then this news came. When the news spreads here, by the time we depart, gentlemen, can you imagine what will happen next?"

Wei Zhong and the others remained silent, momentarily finding the atmosphere oppressively suffocating.

Indeed, they hadn’t had a moment to rejoice when perhaps a more tumultuous wave was poised to strike.

Wei Zhong’s face appeared even grimmer.

Chen Yuan saw the three were silent, looked at Wei Zhong,

"Colonel Wei, there’s no need to worry just yet, I do have a plan!"

"There’s just one thing, I need to ask for a favor!"

"Please speak!" Wei Zhong’s gaze steadied, replied solemnly.

"I am not hiding anything; I want to prepare early. We don’t know how things will develop later on, so I want to equip my troops as best as possible."

"So I’m troubling Colonel Wei, to mobilize your influence, within Tianxiong City, to help me gather as much resources as possible – Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Elixirs, armor, weapons, etc."

"The more the better!"

"Alright, it’s just..." Wei Zhong hesitated somewhat.

"Don’t worry, I will naturally provide silver coins!"

Chen Yuan is preparing early, his forces being insufficient. As he moves towards Jingguan City, the world is unpredictable, and for now, he’s preparing for the worst-case scenario.

Before the troops are mobilized, provisions are to be assembled first.

This is an age-old truth.

"Let’s proceed this way."

"And the method Lord Chen just mentioned?" Wei Zhong agreed and then looked at Chen Yuan gravely.

...

The next day, the sun rose from the east of the mountains,

The sky brightened.

The Inner City gates were opened wide.

The sound of horse hooves thundered, a torrent of black surged out.

Horses neighing, iron armor gleaming cold, the masses of horses surged forth, heading out of the border.

This massive commotion startled Tianxiong Pass, awakening under the night.

"What’s going on?"

"What happened?"

"I don’t know, all these troops are marching out, heading towards Shu."

"..."

The citizens of the Southern City were awoken, and then the news spread throughout the city.

Subsequently, at some unknown time, a news spread like a bombshell throughout Tianxiong Pass.

The Jiannan Road Demon Suppression Envoy has fallen!

And the Youmen Pass he was defending has completely fallen as well.

Upon this news break, Tianxiong Pass was abruptly in uproar!
